AISHA Thornton has a second swim in the Commonwealth Games on Monday morning but it will not be in the final of the 800m freestyle.

The 22-year-old Loughborough University student from Warrington , a member of Warriors of Warrington Swimming Club, faces a ranking swim-off with 19-year-old New Zealander Emma Robinson in the pool at Tolcross Swimming Centre at 10.33am.

They finished joint fourth in heat two on Sunday, clocking 8mins 41.02secs, but after heat three they missed out on the top eight spots for the final on Monday night.
